Damn, they don't do that any more? I watched anime from the very late 90s to the mid-2000s. Most of it was crap VHS or VHS quality video, but I remember many shows that had those types of subs. There wasn't particularly a debate, that was clearly the best and most popular style. Fansubs were clearly the way to go. There WAS a debate over subs vs dubs, but that was basically just geeks vs normies.
